HARLEY-DAVIDSON REVOLUTION MAX 1250 ENGINE IS TUNED for ADVENTURE All-New Liquid-Cooled V-Twin to Power Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special HARLEY-DAVIDSON REVOLUTION MAX 1250 ENGINE IS TUNED FOR ADVENTURE All-New Liquid-Cooled V-Twin to Power Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special MILWAUKEE (February 22, 2021) – The Harley-Davidson® Pan America™ 1250 and Pan America™ 1250 Special models are powered by the all-new Revolution® Max 1250 engine, a liquid-cooled V-Twin designed to offer flexible, engaging performance with a broad powerband that builds to a rush of high-RPM power surging through the redline. The Revolution Max 1250 engine has been tuned specifically to deliver desirable power characteristics for the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special models, with an emphasis on smooth low-end torQue delivery and low-speed throttle control applicable to off-road riding. “Through its history Harley-Davidson has embraced technological evolution while respecting the heritage of our brand, with engines that produce real-world performance for real-life riders,” said Harley-Davidson Chief Engineer Alex Bozmoski. “The Revolution Max 1250 is a clean-sheet, advanced-design effort that will carry Pan America riders over new horizons with reliability, efficiency, and exciting performance.” A focus on performance and weight reduction drove both vehicle and engine architecture, material choices, and aggressive component design optimization. To minimize overall motorcycle weight the engine is integrated into the vehicle as the central member of the chassis. The use of lightweight materials helps achieve a desirable power-to-weight ratio. The Revolution Max 1250 engine is assembled at the Harley-Davidson Pilgrim Road Powertrain Operations facility in Wisconsin. Revolution® Max 1250 Engine Displacement: 1250cc Bore x Stroke: 4.13 in. (105 mm) x 2.83 in (72 mm) Horsepower: 150hp Peak TorQue: 94 ft. lbs. Peak RPM: 9500 Compression Ratio: 13:1 Revolution® Max 1250 Engine Technical Features • V-Twin Architecture o A V-Twin design provides a narrow powertrain profile that centralizes mass to enhance balance and handling, and also provides ample foot/leg room for the rider. o A 60-degree V angle of the cylinders keeps the engine compact while providing space between the cylinders for dual down-draft throttle bodies that maximize air flow and increase performance. • Optimized Design for Light Weight Reducing the weight of the powertrain contributes to lower motorcycle weight – reducing weight can enhance every aspect of motorcycle performance: efficiency, acceleration, handling and braking. o The use of finite element analysis (FEA) and advanced design optimization techniQues in the engine design stage minimized material mass in cast and molded components. For example, as the design progressed, material was removed from the starter gear and camshaft drive gears in an effort to lighten these components. o Single-piece aluminum cylinders with nickel silicon carbide-surface galvanic coating are a lightweight design feature. o Rocker covers, camshaft covers and primary cover are lightweight magnesium. • Stressed Member Powertrain The Revolution Max 1250 powertrain is a structural component of the motorcycle chassis. o The engine serves two functions – providing power and acting as a structural element of the chassis. o Eliminating a traditional frame significantly reduces motorcycle weight and results in a very stiff chassis. o A front frame element, mid frame element and the tail section bolt directly to the powertrain. o The powertrain is designed to be both strong and very rigid so that it can effectively function as a chassis component. o The rider realizes optimized performance due to a significant weight savings, a rigid chassis and mass centralization. • Liquid Cooling Heat is an enemy of both durability and rider comfort. Liquid cooling the engine maintains a stable and controllable engine and oil temperature for consistent performance in changing environmental and riding situations. o Powertrain performance is enhanced by tight component tolerances that can be achieved when engine temperature is controlled (there is less expansion and contraction of metal parts). o Desirable engine sounds – a stirring exhaust tone – can predominate because noise from internal engine sources is reduced by liQuid cooling. o The engine oil is also liQuid cooled, which ensures that engine oil performance and durability will be maintained in challenging conditions. o The cooling system is designed to be esthetically pleasing, easy to service and rugged. o The coolant pump is internal and features high-performance bearings and seals for extended service life. o Coolant passages are integrated into a complex stator cover casting to save weight and reduce powertrain width. o A coolant drain plug is recessed and guarded by a foot peg to limit vulnerability to damage in off-road riding situations. • Offset Connecting Rod Journals The two crankshaft connecting rod journals are offset by 30 degrees. Harley-Davidson leveraged its extensive experience in flat track racing to help inform the cadence of Revolution® Max 1250 engine power pulses. o The 30-degree offset creates a 90-degree firing order that produces a smooth power delivery, especially at higher RPM. o The cylinders are offset slightly to accommodate the crankshaft design, with the rear cylinder positioned to the rider’s left on the crankcase, a choice made to enhance ergonomics. o The rider may gain control and confidence because the power pulses of a 90-degree firing order may improve traction in some off-road riding situations. o The 90-degree firing order produces a stirring exhaust beat. • Forged Aluminum Pistons o Piston crowns are machined for precise control of compression ratio. The 13:1 compression ratio improves engine torQue at all speeds. This high compression ratio is made possible by advanced knock detection sensors. The engine will reQuire premium- grade (91 octane) fuel to make maximum power, but will run on lower-octane fuel and is protected from detonation by the knock sensor technology. o The base of the piston is chamfered so no piston ring compression tool is reQuired for installation. o The piston skirt has a low-friction coating. o Low-tension piston rings reduce friction, which improves performance. o The top ring land is anodized to enhance durability. o Oil cooling jets are aimed at the bottom of the pistons to help dissipate combustion heat. • Four-Valve Cylinder Heads o Four-valve cylinder heads (two intake and two exhaust) permit the largest-possible valve area. o The rider realizes an optimal performance profile for adventure touring – strong bottom-end torQue with a smooth transition to peak power – because the flow of gasses through the combustion chamber is optimized to match the desired performance reQuirement and engine displacement. o The exhaust valves are sodium-filled to better dissipate heat. o Suspended oil passages within the heads are made possible by a complex casting techniQue, and reduce weight because the head wall thickness is minimized. o The cylinder heads are cast from high-strength 354 aluminum alloy. Because the heads act as a chassis mounting point, they are designed to be flexible at that mounting point but rigid over the combustion chamber. This is accomplished in part through targeted heat treating. • Double Overhead Camshafts (DOHC) The Revolution Max 1250 engine is eQuipped with separate intake and exhaust camshafts for each cylinder. o The DOHC design facilitates higher-RPM operation by reducing valve train inertia, which produces higher peak horsepower. o The DOHC design permits independent Variable Valve Timing (VVT) on the intake and exhaust cam, optimized for the front and rear cylinder, to broaden the powerband. o Specific cam profiles are selected to produce the most-desirable performance characteristics. o The drive-side camshaft bearing journal is part of the drive sprocket, a design that makes it possible to remove the camshaft for service or a future performance upgrade without disassembling the camshaft drive. o The camshaft drive chain guides and sprockets have been optimized to reduce as much mass as possible. The chain tensioner is internally mounted and incorporates design features to minimize start-up clatter. • Hydraulic Lash Adjusters o The Revolution® Max 1250 engine features roller-finger valve actuation with hydraulic lash adjusters. o This design ensures that the valves and valve actuators (“fingers”) are in constant contact as engine heat changes. o The hydraulic lash adjusters make the valve train maintenance-free, saving the owner time and cost – there is no mechanical adjuster. o This design realizes a reduction in undesirable valve train noise, especially on cold starts. o This design maintains consistent pressure on the valve stem, which facilitates more- aggressive camshaft profiles which can boost performance. • Variable Valve Timing (VVT) The Revolution Max 1250 engine is eQuipped with computer-controlled Variable Valve Timing (VVT) on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. o Through computer control, VVT advances or retards exhaust and intake camshaft timing independently through a potential range of 40 degrees of crankshaft rotation. o VVT broadens the overall powerband and improves torQue management and efficiency compared to the same engine with fixed valve timing. This allows the same engine to provide both low-end grunt for acceleration off the line as well as the thrill of high-RPM horsepower. o VVT may improve fuel efficiency and increase range from each tank of fuel. o The timing phaser is located between the cam drive sprocket and the camshaft, and uses a solenoid plunger to control ported hydraulics that change the cam timing. o When the engine is shut down, VVT sets intake cams to full retard and exhaust cams to full advance to reduce compression for easier starting. o Camshaft position pick-ups are located in the valve covers. • Dual Spark Plugs The Revolution Max 1250 engine is eQuipped with two spark plugs per cylinder. o Dual spark plugs improves ignition of the fuel charge across this wide-bore cylinder. o The Revolution® Max 1250 engine is eQuipped with “dual side strap” spark plugs that are designed to better manage high temperatures in the combustion chambers than a standard spark plug.

    SIDECAR 2003 Hal Kendall - Author Hal built his first sidecar outfit in 1953 in Mel- bourne, Australia. He has built and dreiven many outfits in Australia, the US, and the UK SIDECAR PREFACE In any generation there are always a few not content with the mundane. They want to get away from the norm and want to conquer the unconquerable. These individuals are not content to be enclosed in a stuffy metal enclosure. Nor are they satisfied with the exhilaration of a two-wheeler. They ride these three-wheeled unmanageable eccentric machines whose origins begin with the birth of the mechanical horse. Sidecarists are held together by the brotherhood of friendship that extends across the nation and around the world. Little has been said about the theory of sidecaring and its operation although many myths and back- yard gossip abound. This manual is for those hardy souls who wish to understand their cantanker- ous machines In greater detail and to those who wish to join our ranks. This manual has been compiled as a service to all sidecarists by the United Sidecar Association, Inc. All work was contributed voluntarily beginning with a zero budget. Donations received from the first limited edition manual were set aside to allow for future publications. If you have additions you would like to consider adding to this manual, please send it to: [email protected] H. A. Kendall, Ph.

  • Harley-Davidson, Inc
    HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC. Dalton E. Brannen Jeffrey R. Miller Nabil A. Ibrahim Augusta State University In 1903, two young childhood friends from Wisconsin developed their first prototype of a motor- powered bicycle. It was capable of speeds of almost 25 miles per hour. Today, Harley- Davidson (HD) is the only major American manufacturing concern that continues to produce American-made motorcycles. Harley-Davidson has had a long and proud tradition. However, it has also faced many problems. While producing a poor product and encountering significant competition from Japanese companies, Harley-Davidson came close to bankruptcy. The company’s turnaround was spectacular. During its history, Harley-Davidson has had five distinct management tenures or waves, each of which had a significant impact on its operations. The story of Harley-Davidson shows the impact that management can have on a company, both for bad and for good. Much can be learned from one of the greatest comebacks in the history of American business. INTRODUCTION The story of Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HD) is one of the most remarkable in the history of American enterprise. From its humble beginnings in 1903 in a backyard shed, the company grew steadily even through the travails of the Depression and two World Wars. However, the growth stalled and severe problems became evident in the late 1960’s. The excellent reputation that Harley-Davidson had developed was on a downward spiral as the products they produced were of poor quality and dated design and technology. Their market share was minuscule. To make matters worse, during the 1960’s and 1970’s, Japanese companies significantly increased exports of motorcycles to the United States and, in the process, were accused of dumping.
